Thief-like open source game project The Dark Mod 2.14 released

I'm really happy to see this project is still in healthy development, even though the number of FM has been decaying recently. It's really a pitty because this is the closest thing we have to Thief remake.

If only there was a magic way of porting all T1 and T2 FM to the Dark Mod...

Google's Project Genie experiment allows creating interactive worlds with generative AI

Quoting: kuhpunktWhat I don't understand... if they are so hard into pushing AI at any cost, why aren't they just telling their AI to use one of the pre-existing engines like Godot or Unity or Unreal or whatever... and let the AI design levels and missions or whatever.

This crap that they are doing here is just mental. You're just playing a video stream, not a static product. Nothing "exists" here. It's just so dumb.
Because it can't do that. This so called ai can't produce nothing new, it can only copy other people's work.

Story-heavy tactical CRPG 'ATOM RPG 2' announced

This is great news. It may not look like, but there are so few good fallout1&2 like games out there... Encased was an hidden gem (unfortunately the company closed). ATOM was much lower in production value but it was ok (although the dialogues were most of the time boring and the English translation was wired).

Let's hope they nail the dialogue this time.

Nexus Mods retire their in-development cross-platform app to focus back on Vortex

I don't know about the cross platform app, but Vortex is a buggy and overcomplicated mess. I miss the days of Nexus Mod Manager...

Don't read too much into that. It's just a slogan for investors. When the ai bubble bursts, everything will go back to normal.

So... Not much for PC users. The "new" episodes are user made content and already available on moddb. No thanks, I'll stick with the superior Raze engine.

"People of color" is mainly an USA thing. And serves more to foment distrust between groups than to actually help minorities.

And before you say this is naive, this was the point of MLK.

Racism exists everywhere, but the USA is very peculiar in the way it deals with it.

But I'm curious. Can asians participate on this thing? How about native Americans? Middle estern? Can an Iranian participate?
